"Uncle, uncle, my tooth is broken, please rush to the hospital."
Yi Zhonghai: “???????”
Is this human language? Why are you acting so self-righteous? Am I your long-term employee, or do I owe you something?
And what happened during the time I was away? How could the stick tooth be broken?
Besides, his broken tooth has nothing to do with me. Shouldn’t you, as his grandmother, be the one taking him to the hospital?
At this time, the wailing of Banggen also made the surrounding neighbors stick their heads out to watch the fun. There were too many melons in the past two days, just one after another, and it was hard to keep up.
"What's going on?"
"The stick tooth is broken? What happened? Did it hit the ground?"
"Ouch, it's really broken, what happened to the stick?"
"There's blood in the mouth."
Yi Zhonghai was totally confused. The image he had established in the courtyard was that of a good, warm-hearted man. Now that this had happened and so many people were watching, it was difficult for him to just ignore it.
"Sister-in-law Jia, what happened? How did the stick tooth break?"
Jia Zhang looked embarrassed. How could she explain this? Should she tell the people in the yard that the rice fell on the ground, she picked it up and it brought stones with it, which knocked out her teeth?
That means the theft has been exposed.
She hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time.
Yi Zhonghai's face also looked unhappy. He knew that there must be something he didn't know, but now was not the time to get to the bottom of it. He had to show his helpful character and not let his image fall apart.
"Stop talking, send the child to the hospital quickly. Sister-in-law Jia, don't just stand there, take the money and go to the hospital now."
Jia Zhang was stunned.
"money?"
Don't I know that going to the hospital costs money? I came to you just to find someone to pay. If I was willing to pay myself, why would I take him there directly? Why did I come to you?
She rubbed her hands in embarrassment and said, "Well, uncle, my family just switched to corn flour a few days ago. You know our family situation, and we really can't afford it. How about this, you pay for it first, and I'll pay you back when my daughter-in-law gets paid."
The corner of Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched. This old woman really thinks I'm a fool.
Pay it back after getting your salary?
When has your family ever paid you back? How much money has He Yuzhu paid you? It keeps getting more and more. Who has ever seen your family pay you back? If you can pay me back, I will write my name upside down.
Although He Yuzhu also had a share of the credit for being sucked dry by the Jia family, the Jia family was indeed a deadbeat, a bottomless pit that no amount of money could fill.
But now with so many people watching, he couldn't bring himself to tell the boss about the thousand dollars, so he could only agree to it.
He felt extremely regretful. He knew the temper of the Jia family. Why did they ask her to bring money? He could just send that bastard Banggeng to the hospital first. Wouldn't he be able to bring no money himself? Anyway, he didn't have any money. How could this old woman keep him in the hospital?
"Stop talking. Let's just leave it at that. We should rush the child to the hospital. Can't you see that the child is crying so hard? Uncle, can you lend me your bicycle?"
Yan Bugui was watching the fun, and was quite happy when he hadn't come. He didn't expect that he would be the one to be eaten by the melon, and he had to borrow his own life. How could this be possible? He didn't even lend it to his own son, so how could he lend it to you?
"Ahem..." He coughed awkwardly twice, "Well, uncle, the child is in so much pain, and if he gets bumped around on a bicycle, it will be even more painful, so we should find a tricycle or a flatbed cart to take him there."
Yi Zhonghai: “…”
Why don't you just say you don't want to lend it? Why do you have to make such a lame excuse and are afraid of getting hurt? You really are a genius.
"Forget it, I'll find another car."
After saying that, he ignored the old man and went straight to the front yard.
Judging from the direction, it was obvious that he was going to look for Li Qinghe.
But his goal was doomed to fail.
Because Li Qinghe had already gone out on his bike, he had excellent hearing and could clearly hear Banggeng's crying and Jia Zhang's conversation in the front yard despite the loud noise in the middle yard.
He guessed that Yi Zhonghai would definitely borrow a bicycle, and the only people who had bicycles in the yard were Yan Bugui and himself.
With Yan Bugui's stingy nature, can he borrow a car? Of course not.
Then Yi Zhonghai could only look for himself, so he immediately carried his bicycle and slipped out of the compound.
As soon as he went out, he got on his bike and rushed out.
"Hey, you still want to take a ride to the hospital? Why does a little thief need such good treatment?"
With a sneer, Li Qinghe rode his bicycle around leisurely, taking advantage of the fact that there were few people on the street at noon to enjoy the scenery.
In the big courtyard, Yi Zhonghai returned to the middle courtyard with a gloomy face.
"Uncle, what's going on? That little bastard Li Qinghe won't lend it to me?"
When Jia Zhang saw Yi Zhonghai coming back empty-handed, she immediately asked with a sidelong glance.
"Shut up!"
Hearing such brainless words, Yi Zhonghai wanted to slap her to death. There are so many people watching in the yard, and you are scolding them. Do you think your family has a too good reputation in the yard?
Li Qinghe is the orphan of a martyr. You just call him a bastard. If someone with ulterior motives tells him, do you believe he will still come and extort money from me?
If you scold the orphans of martyrs, as long as you report it to the street office, what good will you get? By then, I will have to pay you to suppress the matter, right?
After being yelled at, Jia Zhang reacted and looked around. Sure enough, the neighbors were looking at her with subtle eyes.
"Well, I'm in a hurry. Doesn't Li Qinghe want to lend me his car?"
"Humph, he's not at home at all. Lou Xiao'e said he had something to do and went to his master's house."
"This...what should we do with this stick?" Jia Zhang was anxious.
Yi Zhonghai said coldly: "What else can we do? Let's go on foot. We'll see if we can find a tricycle on the way."
After saying that, he pulled the crying Bang Geng out. The kid was already twelve years old, and he couldn't hold him.
Besides, it was just a broken tooth, not a broken leg. It was just a minor injury. If he hadn't been spoiled by the Jia family, he wouldn't have to go to the hospital. Ordinary children are not so pampered.
Jia Zhang quickly caught up with the two of them, still talking, "How about you carry Banggeng on your back, uncle? He's injured, how can he walk?"
Veins bulged on Yi Zhonghai's forehead. This old hag is getting more and more demanding. I've already agreed to pay for it, but she still wants me to carry him on her back. This kid is already twelve years old and has gained weight. You want me, an old man, to carry him on your back?
He said nothing and ignored Jia Zhangshi. He just walked silently, pulling the stick.
Jia Zhang was not so stupid as to be indifferent. She knew that Yi Zhonghai had reached the limit of his patience and did not dare to act any more.
After Banggeng felt the initial pain, he no longer dared to cry and just followed closely behind.
The backs of the three disappeared around the corner. The neighbors who were watching the fun began to discuss in twos and threes in a low voice, and then went back to prepare for dinner. It was the middle of the day, and they had watched the fun and had something to talk about before dinner later.
